Maybe used to 30 seconds being average?

How so, at least with this article? It mentions a couple times things like:

what she hasn't done is disown the current tariffs on the imports of China, which have also been harmful.

if Harris wins and resumes Biden's supposedly more strategic approach to tariffs, tech companies already feeling heavily burdened expect they would be stuck with extra costs under her administration

Harris hasn't been clear about her plans for tariffs if elected

It's unclear how quickly prices would rise if Trump or Harris expanded tariffs.

It feels (at least to me) pretty balanced on this that they will rise if either one is elected, they just can't say how much under Harris because she hasn't given details about it, which they point out many times. Trump has declared his intention, so that's why his amount is shown.

Trump's threat of a 60 percent tariff on all Chinese goods is perhaps the clearest worst-case scenario for tech companies preparing to adapt as administrations shift.

Just randomly wondering, which distro did you use on what hardware?

This isn't the first time ARM has gone to court over licensing. In fact, the last time was against Qualcomm and its fees dealing with its Nuvia.

It really did.

FYI, ARM stands for Advanced RISC Machines.

If you had a friend named Jack, and he was stuck on a horse, would you help Jack off the horse?

First reason is the knowledge and understanding to paint like this has come and gone. We have paintings from Egypt from 100 BC that is very realistic. They are known as the Fayyum portraits.

Also, paint isn't the most long lasting of materials, so less painted anything still survives. While many don't know about it, but Greek and Roman statues were painted.

Again, they have a court approved document. As per the lawsuit filing:

Recognizing the value of Wiwynn’s custom-tailored solutions, on September 24, 2014, X Corp. entered into a Master Purchase Agreement with Wiwynn. For nearly eight years, X Corp. sourced and Wiwynn provided unique, custom-designed IT infrastructure products including rack solutions for X Corp.’s data centers, based on forecasts provided by X Corp. The components used to build the products are largely unique to the products, resulting in long lead times for ordering such component parts from suppliers. To ensure that products could be manufactured on the strict timeline X Corp. required, X Corp. specifically gave written approval for Wiwynn to purchase the necessary components to manufacture the custom products being made for X Corp., and expressly assumed liability for the procurement costs.

And a master purchase agreement is a legally binding contract.

They have one, the contract signed in 2014. As is mentioned in the quote I shared.

When you read the article, it also points to another article that goes further into this case.

...in 2014 it contracted with Twitter to provide "unique, custom-designed IT infrastructure products including rack solutions."...

Seems it was already approved in 2014 for such a long-term relationship in writing. It seems that Elon just didn't want to pay for it even though Twitter was contractual bound to pay.

Seems to match when more people had better access to smartphones and watching videos not just in the privacy of their home. Could be a lot of people aren't watching movies with sex as often because you don't want to be on a bus/plane where others can see your screen and suddenly it's a sex scene. (Amongst other reasons)
